Bitter Gourd & Raw Banana combo

Combination of a bitter gourd and raw banana makes a perfect side dish for the upcoming winters. Here I have mixed veggies together as they complement each other flavour and balance the bitterness with mild sweet raw bananas.

Method 

Take a heavy bottom pan, add oil and mustard seeds in it.

Put the thinly sliced bitter gourd and fry in high flame for two minutes,

lower the flame and keep stirring for another five minutes.

Now cover the pan and let the bitter gourd cook, we have to cook banana at the end as it is cooked very fast.

Check the karela if it is semi cooked , then add the sliced onion in it and then after few minutes add bananas to it. 

Add salt and cook in high flame for five minutes , banana will be cooked easily.

Add all the spices and in medium high flame let the veggies absorb the spices.

At end add the gram flour and cook for two more minutes.

Close the flame and cover it.
